=== Alpha<sup>2</sup> Librae === The brightest member, Ξ±<sup>2</sup> Librae, is itself a [[spectroscopic binary]] system. The components have similar masses (mass ratio of 0.92) but the primary has a rotational velocity three times higher than its companion, which could be caused by them having significantly misaligned spin axes or if the primary is a merger product.<ref name=waisberg>{{Cite journal |last1=Waisberg |first1=Idel |last2=Klein |first2=Ygal |last3=Katz |first3=Boaz |date=2023-08-23 |title=Hidden Companions to Intermediate-mass Stars.
